Textbook New Edition: Who Shall Live? Health, Economics, and Social Choice
“In this classic book, Professor Victor Fuchs draws on his deep understanding of the strengths and limitations of economics and his intimate knowledge of health care institutions to help readers understand the problems every nation faces in trying to allocate health resources efficiently and equitably. In a new Introduction to the second expanded edition, Professor Fuchs examines the major changes in health, medical care, and U.S. health policy of the past four decades.

Please join us for an exciting fourth annual symposium on Engineering and Liberal Education. The program includes a keynote talk by Dr. David Ferrucci, Semantic Analysis and Integration Department, IBM Watson Research Center. Dr. Ferrucci is perhaps best known for heading the team of researchers that developed “Watson,” the natural language processor recently featured on the quiz show “Jeopardy,” where it claimed victory over its human competitors.
Other highlights include an industry panel session, panel and discussion sessions on various aspects of integrating engineering and the liberal arts, a poster session, and on Saturday afternoon, a faculty development workshop.
